Great build! I really like the design and the details. They look great with the rest of your modular buildings.

My son and my daughter both like playing with the Friends sets. Our philosophy has always been to let my son play with dolls and my daughter to play with trains and play tools. The same holds true for Lego; I've always encouraged them both to play with them from Quatro to Duplo to now Lego sets. I find the sets to be very playable and I love the new pieces and colors. There are a lot of possibilities there. I can't wait to see what the AFOL community creates using these new sets!

Great build! I really love the white tree; it looks great!

The ship looks great in LDD. I can't wait to see how it looks once you've completed it in bricks!

Like others have stated, the stern looks great (expect for the gaps already mentioned). I would love to see this build!

Great start! I look forward to seeing the finished product!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I knew that the masts weren't quite right and I'll adjust them. As was mentioned, I also need to lanterns on the stern and a few other details to make it just a little more realistic. Here is a close up of the bowsprit. I used two wedges 12 x 3 put together to create it. I also used the technique from the Imperial flagship to create the curve for the bow. I still need to replace the dark brown slopes with reddish brown for a better color match.

I've always been a town builder, but as a New Year's resolution, I decided I wanted to expand my skills starting with ships and building from the sailing era. This is my first attempt at a frigate. It's about 90-95% complete. I still need to add a few tweaks to it and some small details.
